On the recordOctober 11, 2000
Mr. Speaker, with all due deference, the best way, I do not know if it is the best way, but the easiest way to expedite the process of the bill is to walk out with a bill, have the majority members of the conference committee sign it, and come back and say this is the conference report with no meetings. So I will ask again, do I have a commitment that there will, in fact, be meetings in a room with the members of the conference committee present at the same time and with members of the conference committee able to offer and debate amendments? Simple request. Do I have that commitment, yes or no?
